My 79 Bronco with 400 c6 and 3.50 gears got 12 once on easy going highway, and it hurts to check in town, with about 270,000 miles(so I can expect this great gas mileage till I rebuild).
My 77 F-100 with 302 c4 and 3.50 gears got a little over 20 once, and gets about 14-16 city, depending on how easy I take it, and that is a brand new long block rebuild, now has about 5,000 miles on it.
Your right foot really determins you gas mileage, expecially on acceleration.
So swallow your prid and let that lillte honda get the jump off of the line at the red light.

I agree with all the gearing, tires, ride height, ect.., but I've driven my Bronco and I can get at least 2 mpg more when I accelerate real easy and that's in town.
In my truck(77 F-100 302) I can get 3-4 mpg more driving easy, and I'd have to say it is a good bit lighter than my Bronco, I agree with that 100%, the bronco is a 5,000lb+ brick.
